Epic trip, watch out for the toll roads in Austria! Caught us out and was rather costly..
 
Here's the planned route on google maps:

Currently we have just checked in to the first stop in Bruges for over night stay, beers and food! Tomorrow we set off to Nurburgring for an evening session

We've just done the ring today & also popped to Spa on the way from Bruges to Nurburg.

Shame we couldnt have aligned with your trip - who you heading over with/what in?
 
Both such clean cars!
Went to the ring last year and so jealous of you now.
Itching to go back! It's such an awesome place
 
Update - Wednesday!

We woke today to collect the cars from what is probably a "if carlsberg did car parks...." car park. It was totally immaculate, and a perfect excuse for a few cheeky snaps before setting off to Germany













We did spend far too long taking pictures that the car park tickets had expired, and we had to convice the owners to let us out!



======> Spa

The overal destination for the day was to get to the ring, but as Spa was on the way - we figured why not stop.







Then off to Germany, had some great roads on the way to nurburg once we ditched the mways







Best of all though.. the view from the hotel balcony







To round out the day we ventured out for a lap of the ring..

That finishes today's adventure - tomorrow will be the Porsche & possibly Merc museums, before heading into the Alp passes by Saturday
 
Im coming over with my 4yr old boy in my old EF7 CRX. Meeting up with all the Belgium guys that came to JapFest and doing Spa with them. Mon and Tue I am going to introduce my son to NUR :0 does that make me a really bad parent lol.

Thursday Update!

Last night i forgot, but i had to apply the obligatory 'ring sticker now that i've done it..











Today we headed out from nr. Nurburgring to Stuttgart to the Porsche museum. Some pretty nice cars all in all, and it was a good day out.
































Unfortunately, through the course of the day i discovered what looks like a 6 inch nail in my 1 of my week old Yokohama AD08 Tyres:drive: - so the spare is on (Which has also gone flat tonight) not sure what to do about replacing the tyres/repairing in the morning.. seems Yoko are hard to come by on the continent!!! arGGHH!!!! [pics to follow]

Have you got a weblink/phone number? :nice::nice:

I am desperate not to throw away money later today on tyres im only going to throw away when i got back home

Currently I am in Bad Urach, Germany (Next stop Zurich) so a little way South of the ring :(
 
Not as far as i know. I remember wandering around ringwerk and finding the yoko shop next to the aston martin shop. Probably just for marketing. Ill do some googling now
 
Yokohama germany is in dusseldorf. Which is nearer to the ring. My ex lives in koln but it would take her a few days to find me a yoko supplier.

This ks the contact details for yoko de

Kontakt - Yokohama

Best i can do mate. Where is the nail? You could get it repaired potentially

Ahh Friday adventures..










Had my tyres replaced at a local tyre shop :( continental in place of my AD08's :'(
